FMC00.681 illustrates,

on the left: the human nervous system and organism depicted as what the ancient Greeks called the lyre of Apollo, an instrument on which the gods played the music of the spheres or the etheric formative forces. The 28 (between 24 and 31) spinal nerves are like the strings of that lyre.

on the right: the same picture enclosed in the human body, to show how the process of human breathing causes a rhythmic undulation of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) as the backbone of the human consciousness experience with the human brain.

The contours of the human body shown to point to the fact that Man not only breathes air through the lungs, but there is also a fine breathing of the etheric life energy through the pores of the skin. See Franz Bardon's IIH step 2 and Initiation exercises#Pore breathing.
